In 1870, the period which first knew

all the adyersltles incident to new
settlement, there being then only
about 100 inhabitants in the county.

of attempting TO build a city or of de.

of God footstool, can now Sc eplainly
that time cannot etface the stolid
foundation upon which has been built
a tiourishing city and in which her
inhabitants can safely place their
hopes for her renown in the CONNER
cial and social world.
Visitors at Morris viewing all her
surroundings, cannot find words to
express their admiration of her local
position. From the highest point in
town you have distinct views of the
grand country surrounding it, with
its lakes, groves, and fine rolling
prairie, dotted here and there by the
mansions of independent farmers,
who are wealthy IN the contentment
of their homes, aside from any other
considerations. Within stone
throw of the village is the gently
flowing Pomme de Terre river, upon
the banks Of which, and run by its
waters, are extensive Touring mills
which manufacture all the flour need

ship large quantities.; and the grade

The ladders were run up to the top of the Pearson Block and 75O pounds weight, by sand bags was placed upon the rungs. Mir. Stev ems then went up himself and eomplet- ed the first test.

THERE are more mining properties adjacent to Tucson, that are capable of furnishing ores in quantity for reduc- tion. than most people whe think themselves to be well posted. believe Even leaving out the known quantities of excellent ores that would seek Tue son reduction works from Arivacs, Gro Blanco, the QuijOtoas, Sierritas, the Santa RitRs, the Olive camp, the Ssnia Catalinss, the Silver Bell district and points beyond thirty-fve miles distant, the Tucson range of mountains can be relied upon to almost supply s thirty ton smelter with excellent ores. They are not high grade as rule, but they are abundant, and largely of a charEc- ter suitable for fuxing. Lead ores are abundant. and some of the newly opened mines are showing eX ceediDgly fine lead csrbonates that that are unsurpassed for smelling. What is needed by the mine owners is little pecunisry assistance to open their mines, and once they are developed into the ore body. almost any property will pay its own TGy and become @ source of profit. A ride through the Tucson mountains and sn inspection of the properties upon which small amount of prospecting work has been expended, will convince any practical miner that plenty of good ore can be easily de- veloped to keep large smelling works busy day and night for an indefinite length Cf time.

OPINION
UT District Attorney If. K. Jsffords Upon Sheriff Shaw's Demand.

| UT Dlstrict Attorney IT. K. Jenords IT pom Sheriff Shaw's Demand.
 The demand of Sheriff E.. O. Shaw for the salary of the sheriff during the In- cumbency of the office by Sheriff R. H. Paul. was referred by the Board of Sup eryl-ors to the District Attorney for his opinion as to the legality nf the demand. Yesterday Mir. Jeffnrds filed the follow ing opinion in the matter:
 To the Honorable, the Board of Super visors of Pima County. GRSTLEMES:-I herewith hsnd you the account of E. O. Shaw. sEer 1T in which he demands the gum oi S9.375 from Pima county for salary Rs sheriff ot said county from April l5t, 1885, to July lst, 1886, submitted for my opinion.
 have carefully examined this &C., count and do not think that the county of Pima is liable tr pay the same, for the following reasons:
 During all the time covered by the above named demand, K. H. Psnl was in possession of the office of sheriff Gt Pima county, claiming to be the sheriff O. sad county. NIT. Paul performed the sher- m a duties during all of said time and duly received the salary of said office from the county.
 MT. Paul held the sad office during said tune under judgment of the DIs trict Court of the First Juiicigl Distinct of the Territory of Arizona, and the Board of Supervisors was bound tO rec oe nizs his title to the office under the judgment and to pay him tue salary provided bY law.
 The said judgment of the District Court was vacated by an order made granting a new trial in the case Oi Paul vs Shaw. said order being usd' in April, 1886. Mir. Paul appealed from the order granting said new trial, and continued to hold the office ot sheriff until July 9th, lSS6, when the appeal WAS dismissed by stipulatIon between the parties and their attorneys, aud Mir. Paul was permitted to w1tbdr4w .he sum of S3,600, which he had deposited m Court as a supersedegs bond on snid appeal, snd the contest of Paul vs Shaw also dismissed m the District Court by agreement.
 Therefore, the county having paid Mir. Paul all of the salary now demand ed by Mir. bhaw, and as the county act ed, as 1t wss bound to sct, under said judgment, MT. Shav's demand is not valid claim, in my judgment. against the county, and should be rejected
 "SO for as third persons are concern ed. 1t seems clear that their acts, done by authority Of a judgment which is not void but workable only, may be justified under the judgment, notwithstanding its subsequent vacation. D.'-FreemRn On Judgments. I04 B, Third Ed,

 "Gentlemen, my client is charged with beng horsethief. And now, gem tlemen Of the jury, Jet me say to you, tha, yo1-each and every one of you is horse thief, and my client is horse thief, too"

The Mammoth.

The Mammoth mine is described by one who IS familiar with every foot of it, as one ot the best mining properties in the country. The ore is not exactly high grade. but the immense ledge will average from SI4 to SIT iA gold per ton. There IS an abundance of ore in sight to run one hundred stamps for several years. The shaft is down 300 feet, where the ledge IS about 40 feet Tn width. and the cross-cuts in various places show the ledge to be from feet to 35 feet in width. The ore is free milling gold ore, generally, and in some specimens the free gold may be readily seen with the naked eye.
 A full force is being worked on both the mine and the mill. under the gsner- al superlnteDdence of Capt, J, w. John SOD, whose able management hes con triouted so largely to the phenomenal success of this company.
 The southwestern extension of the Mammoth is called the Mammoth Wedge, fractional claim, owned by J. Bauer and Lotus Ezekieis. This has been sold to the Mammoth company OF sixty days time, for good sum, and the deed is in escrow in NIT. Tender sons bank.
 The Morning Star, to the northwest of the Mammoth, is considered one of the best claims Tn that camp IL Iolns one of the cOmpany's properties. About SLIGO worth of work has been done on this claim, in the shaft and tunnels. The ore runs from g to Sl3 Der ton. This property is owned by Mir. John Bauer.
 The Mohawk lies southeast of the Mammoth, and, together with the first southeastern extension of the sane, is owned by NIT. Bauer and others. The shaft Is down about thirty feet. and the ore is practically the same as that on the Mammoth. On the surface a cross cut showed the ledge to be thirty y-five feet wide. On the same claim is parallel ledge. with shaft sixty-five feet deep. showing an eight foot ledge that aver ages from SIS to Sl4 across. Mir. r.Bauer's claims have all the lodges that are in the Mammoth and consequently his properties are considered to be extreme ly valuable. for all of which Mr, Bauer IS to be congratulated.
 Mir. Schulzs, one Of the original own CTS of the Mammoth has made a new discovery about four miles south of the Mammoth. He hBs opened a three foot ledge that averages Si5 per ton. The ledge increases with depth, m size, while the value does not decrease This property was formerly owned by New York parties and abandoned as worth less, II being supposed to have pinched out.
